About

Curious across the whole stack.

I'm a Computer Science student at The University of the South Pacific, building at the intersection of software, systems, and networks.

My hands-on work spans full-stack applications, databases, distributed Java systems, operating systems, and network engineering. I enjoy moving from requirements and data models to interfaces, deployment, and careful debugging.

I'm especially interested in reliable, secure, practical software—and in growing that foundation toward professional software engineering and cybersecurity work.

Foundation

Computer Science + Physics

Began a Bachelor of Science at The University of the South Pacific in 2023, combining a Computer Science major with a Physics minor.

Systems

Programming beneath the interface

Expanded from application programming into operating systems, networking, reliable transport, and distributed Java systems.

Build

Full-stack applications

Applied PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, TypeScript, and relational databases to e-commerce and booking-system projects.

Deploy

Cloud-ready workflows

Worked with Codespaces, hosted databases, environment-based configuration, Git workflows, and deployment troubleshooting.

Direction

Reliable, security-aware software

Now building toward professional software and cybersecurity work grounded in a practical understanding of applications, networks, and systems.

What I can build

From an idea to a useful product.

Capabilities grounded in my current technical experience, with clear communication and practical implementation at the centre.

01

Web experiences

Responsive business and portfolio websites with clear structure, accessible interactions, and a polished customer experience.

02

Full-stack applications

Database-backed web applications with authentication, role-based workflows, dashboards, validation, and administration tools.

03

Booking & commerce systems

Practical booking, catalogue, cart, facility, and operational management flows shaped around real requirements.

04

Database systems

Relational schema design, SQL, migrations, and integration across MySQL and PostgreSQL-backed applications.

05

Deployment support

Environment configuration, Git-based workflows, cloud database setup, and application deployment troubleshooting.

06

Network-aware development

Software decisions informed by TCP/IP, routing, access controls, operating systems, and cybersecurity principles.
